The same error will also occur when calling maintenance tasks such as server status and client connections.
The server version you are trying to connect to is 10.0, which is not supported by Workbench.
Is there a quick hack that would allow using these in Mariadb 10.04 or 10.06
MySQL Workbench checks for a specific version of the server, as each version supports a different set of configuration options. For example. Some 5.6 options must not be set on 5.5 servers.
MariaDB is not officially supported. It is possible to hack the version check to make it pass 10.0, but since there are large differences between the branch and the original MySQL version, there is a chance that you will encounter bugs or break the configuration of the server. The settings in MariaDB are not 100% compatible.
Therefore, it is recommended to use different tools that specifically support MariaDB.
